  1. It was transitioning the narrow strait - good idea to be on the surface.

  2.  @Girtharmstrong69  Ummm, it is what Soviets did it 1988 with a smaller ship. Now with a bigger ship it would work great. Learn some history!

  3.  @Girtharmstrong69 What do you mean it did not work out great? US got a clear message. No intrusions for years.

  4. Putin made it clear after a month of war what he wants. All territories that do not want to be part of Ukraine to not be part of Ukraine. Problem is that after some success on the battlefield and looming total victory I doubt he would easily be persuaded to go for the same deal. Now he wants more land as security / payment for conquest etc. As for Ukraine, it is lead by a comic with heavy Nazi influence so they need to loose all their troops before they can surrender. But at that point they will not have any power in any negotiations.

  5. Turkey is 2nd after US.

  6. I am ashamed we have such politicians as Trudeau or Singh in Canada. One is a corrupt to the core criminal the other is to weak to act.

  7. The emergencies act is just re-wording of war act. It just sounds less "war like". No other real differences.

  8.  @starrose7949  We have to find a middle ground - protest have to be visible, send strong message but they cannot lead to not so wise PM going ballistic. Will I fight? Sure, but we better first have numbers to back us up. Revolutions are like boiling point - they take time and do happen only when people had enough. Sadly this means a LOT of pain. This is my second war act. The first one was when I was 2 years old. It was a bit different, with tanks, APCS, mechanized police force. Not sure this one is any better, given that government wants to starve people out US way. Notice how Russia wants to use tanks and US always starves her enemies? Not sure which way is better, at least tanks come and go and starvation is prolonged. My mother is afraid they block her old age security since she shared picture of our PM as a clown. You never know, maybe soon we have to talk with water running. It was not easy to remove such system & most people will not see it for what it is after its too late. Remember Soviets? Do you think the masses of communists were blood thirsty? No, they were young people wanting change. They were optimistic. They had hopes for better future. By the time it turned into a monster they could not even make a joke - or it was 5 years of hard labor.

  9. Maybe Russia should issue a stamp commemorating missile raining down in Ukraine?

  10.  @-007-2  Well, they are also conveniently marked and even with names.

  11. Then need to give few systems to Armenia for actual combat testing. Taking out target drones is one thing, real life is another.

  12. 120 kg in 2016 - this is 2 years before Meng. Certainly it is hard to say it is made up case. The sentence could have been made a bit tougher then if relations were good - say death vs. life imprisonment. Accusations from 2016 are quite severe & all countries in Asia have strict no drugs policy. Not sure why sudden love for drug dealers in Canada - what would people want to do with these - make penalties lenient so that China can export 2x as much drugs at half the price?

  13. At that point we can call all civilians military targets.

  14. I am totally up for it as long as $$$ is provided up front & no gifts (aka loans) are given by Ottawa. Lets make some $. Make 100% sure they will not go to Azov or other Nazi leaning organizations. Make it a condition of any loans / gifts that Ukraine needs to disband Azov style units as well as remove Bandera as a hero of Ukraine. Also re-establish teaching in minority languages as is standard in EU.

  15.  @elusiveeagle8597  Far less then 1 million - so many people would simply not fit in. for most of its history NG region had at least 90% Armenian majority BUT the region Armenians control is not just NG - its area around it as well.

  16. Yep, minimal losses. You can see whole column moving away. Quick reaction from commanders.

  17. Exactly - and exporting education pays for all of this. Canada is making $$$ on this export and some people want to limit how much $$$ Canada makes!

  18. So when we will see apology from Ukraine and compensation paid to Poland? Also all missile defense systems should now go to Poland, not Ukraine.

  19. Um, never, its a gift, we borrowed to get 120m. There are no interests on gifts. Pray we don't give more.

  20. Azov Nazi units are not victims. I do not support this war. I do not support either side. But I do support eradication of Azov, by any means and by anyone.

  22. Well, she can clearly hold her alcohol whole night and most of the morning - so she is definitely strong in something.

  28. If you cannot say even basic things in this country such as "you do not belong here" b/c it is considered illegal (!) or garbage etc. I think we are no longer able to be seen as democracy. One can agree or disagree with what pp say, but suppression of any negative opinions of a government or its representatives is not a good road to follow. Its an attack on democracy by liberal government.

  29. Yeah - the war criminal is now forcefully removing civilians from their own homes and deporting them. Let the victory to Russia come swift and the barbarian Ukrainian Kiev horde by defeated by the good guys! How can you support a decision to forcefully remove people from their homes - maybe someone should grab you and throw you out of your own home!

  30.  @DeeKay68  Last time I checked potato chip companies do not have the power to influence governments.

  31. LOL, what is that looser saying again? Who cares, maybe he should look at his strategy of defeat in Donbas.

  32. Yes - they are UA version of SS.

  33. But Poland is not rich enough to keep whole Ukraine - only deal if you take Bandera elements to Siberia.

  34.  @alekshukhevych2644  Well, do you really think one can make peace with Bandera elements? I mean their main target during WWII was Poles. Their belief in racial superiority is >> Nazi in Germany. It only matter of time before they go back to their old habits.

  35. They are kind of important - soon to be #1 in the world in economic power in real $. They have a huge army of allies most of which are still afraid of US sanctions.

  36. Ah, Nazi loving Jew. You know Z is a Jew too and even his prime minister! Z is also flanked by his friends, Nazi. I guess anything to stay in power. I guess Nazi Azov will temporarily not kill Jews while they are useful. Same as it will concentrate on Russians before going after Poles again.

  37. Mind your own business!

  38. Well, close, but actually its DPR territory - not Russia yet.

  39.  @holy8782  He means DPR / LPR territory.

  40. I hear it is raining missiles in Kiev - how is that working out for UA? Clearly all military targets. I guess UA cannot complain.

  41.  @zerotankor  No one on Earth did anything similar and their economy did not collapse more then ours. Looks at US - they got a "huge" payout of 1500... one time. Justin paid $2000 to more then 50% of all working people (almost 10m people!) Imagine that our official unemployment numbers never went above 20%... so about that 30%+ who are they? So most of $2000 payments went to people that did not work as per "employment" definition in Canada. Then there is the cool effect of teaching pp not to work - who would work for $15/h when you can stay home and get $2000?

  42.  @Ashley-lz9jh  But that September is in 2025. A touch late.

  43.  @zerotankor  Well, last summer I was a bit surprised that most fast food places offered $18 per hour to flip burgers and STILL could not get staffed. So what would that minimum wage be, at least 18? However, at such high minimum wage so quickly there would be immense pressure for pp that hire min-wage workers to automate these jobs immediately. Thus very quickly we would run into a very large pool of pp that could not simply get any job no matter how hard they tried. This would imply either extreme poverty - welfare or universal income. BUT we are not even close to affording universal income (through it would have saved us ton of $ with the $2000 fiasco).

  44.  @xnitropunkx  That lab still produces stuff - its not like it was sold out and shipped out of Canada. So no harm was done at all. Nothing would have changed for us if it was in government hands as far as vaccine production is concerned. UK build 3 vaccine factories since pandemic start - all under operation now. Canada did zero so far.

  45.  @fromagefrizzbizz9377  It is just one lab that happens to be old. Certainly worth of investment. What I say no one invested few billion dollars in Canada to build new facilities quickly like they did in UK. The $2000 and the new proposed child care is vote buying. Similar style to Greece now with debt in 3 years at the same level as per current spending estimates provided by PM. Nothing good will come out of this. If pp vote for him again in less then 10 years we either face bankruptcy like Argentina or have high taxes and stagnation like Japan - probably later model. Japan did not get out of the trap for decades now so don't expect Canada to magically get out quickly as we are just getting in.

  46.  @fromagefrizzbizz9377  Most nations are not worse off then we are by a large margin. US is doing great - their economy is recovering fast b/c of their quick vaccine response. China did not see a drop at all - they seen a modest rise. So you want me to believe over 50% of the workforce had drastic decline of more then $2000? This cannot be, as there not enough people making in the workforce enough to have $2000 drop. The sad truth is massive cheating - there has been explosion of people claiming making $5000 in "cookies" - just enough to claim their $2000. The $1500 in US was seen as huge. For Americans. If you think pp lost their homes you are delusional - not with rapid price increases. If there was some huge collapse in ownership there would be a crash in the market not a boom. We seen that already once in recent history - explain current situation. Also explain massive rise in bank account balances (in US, in Canada we have the $2000 bonus). 40h per week at $15 after taxes/ work expenses is around $2000. Do the math. Most $15 require at site work. Last time I checked public transport was not free. If restaurant staff was so desperate they would take a job at $18 at local MacD. They did not. Explain that one.

  47.  @fromagefrizzbizz9377  Lets see. Canadian Debt to GDP ratio is around 150% factoring this year. Take France. In 2020 it was 115. Lets say its 130 by end of 2021. France is in G7. France Debt to GDP is better then Canada. So Canadian GDP to Debt ratio is not the best in G7. Looking at US spending on just federal level, from memory, its like 2 trillion, Canada is like 450B CAD. US is roughly 10x bigger then Canada so it would need to spend 4.5 T CAD, but spent only 2.6 T CAD... so certainly less. The cookie people are not paying it back as they played by the rules. Some "cookie" pp were a bit too griddy and got too close to the limit . If you played safe and claimed say 6k in cookies you are fine. No need to pay back. Even if you wanted it back how are you ever planning to get it back - we are talking about pp that do not ever plan to work. Why on earth would you loose a home in rising market? If for unknown reason you could not pay mortgage payments just refinance - with housing going up its easy. In the very worst case you can sell your house and get a hefty $ over what you paid for it even a year earlier. There does not seem to be any "epidemic" of pp loosing - its impossible. If our unemployment and economy were so great we would not be lagging heavily behind US for few years now. Look at our GDP growth numbers and US, before pandemic, during pandemic and now. Normally if unemployment is lower then other country we should be doing better economically - but we are not at all doing better. So what gives? Maybe the unemployment numbers hide some ugly truth? Regarding 2008 recession - if we did so great since then... why are we lagging so far behind? Usually when you do better ... you lead. Again, MacD example shows there was little interest in supposedly jobless restaurant employees to get a job. Even when they went to 18/h. Why? 2000 why. People were paying cash under the table in order NOT to work. People were trying to get as little shift work as possible... maybe that explains low unemployment numbers? Everyone was employed but hardly working. God forbid you went over 1000. Paid manager 200 in cash for a promise not to work. So they hired more people... LOL! I think I rather easily shown that a lot of things you said are plain false or misleading at best.

  48. Most of these NGO's are just spy bases. Chinese reaction was warranted - they cannot just allow one of their citizens to be taken and do "nothing" - this would set precedent where their executives all over the world could be taken.

  49. No, they forcefully remove Russian speakers and ethnic Russians. Probably want to put them in concentration camps.
